i have found that ebay is wanting to blame auctiva, but it isnt activa it is ebay, what i do is after listing the item, i go in through ebay find the item and go to the drop down menue and click revise, then i manually put it in the catagory again...then it shows right up, it is a huge pain in the ass, when you look at i have over 300 hundred items listed and listing 3 times that amount when i am done, but if i wait for ebay to do it...i will grow old before they are all listed....i hope this helps you
